I just came home with Olivia, an '05 GMC Yukon XL 2500 4x4x4 (4 wheel drive & 4 wheel steering). She has the 6.0 engine and all the SLT goodies. She was a GM Company car, and I got her with 6,800 miles on her. Olivia is Sport Red Metallic with the pewter interior, and is like new inside and out. The Quadrasteer Subs and Yuks have the roof marker lights, rear splashguard marker lights, and three red marker lights above the rear LED stop light. The Quadrasteer is absolutely amazing! Olivia can make a u-turn in the same space as a Honda Civic. I think GM will rue the day that they dropped Quadrasteer.

 

Olivia is replacing my beloved Petunia, an '01 Suburban 2500 in Victory Red with 115,000 miles on her. Petunia's predecessor was a '96 Tahoe named Annabelle. I guess that you can get the drift that our GM trucks are cosidered family members. My wife's '04 Tahoe is named Matilda. Matilda is also Sport Red Metallic, making an interesting garage scene at our house. Our son in Atlanta drives an '01 Tahoe, and our son in Jacksonville drives an '05 Yukon.

 

I'm thinking about a cold air intake for Olivia; any suggestions?

WELCOME!!!!! Congradulations on your Quadrasteer! I think you will find that once you driven a quadrasteer for a while that driving a regular truck just seems limited. I love the way people cock their heads when they see those rear wheels turning. Some things to watch out for with the QS trucks is that when you have the rear end serviced make sure they order the correct lubricant as it is totally different than the lubricant they put in the regular trucks. I sent you an email with a link to a Quadrasteer site that has alot of specific information relating to our trucks. Well good luck with it! :dupe:

The '01 Tahoe in Atlanta is Named Agnes, and the '05 Yukon in Jacksonville is named Fern. As far as why female names, I'm not really sure. It just got started that way and I've stuck to it. We do have some male vehicles in the family. We have Norman ('56 Ford Thunderbird), Ichabod or Ikky for short ('58 BMW Isetta), and Harvey ('81 DeLorean).

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.

      By anthony2558 · Posted

      Would this be normal or a worn CV Shaft? 51K miles 3.5" lift? Boots are intact and no visible leaks showing. Attached is a the video I took. Thanks     https://youtu.be/ZnW7PPRmjJY?feature=shared

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.
